Fertile soil
Fertile soil helps to provide plants with a wide range of nutrients and minerals, including phosphorus, potassium and chlorine. It plays a vital part in organic growing and if kept healthy, will not only provide your plants with everything they need to thrive but will also provide a healthier environment in your garden. By using organic methods of keeping your soil fertile, you can not only reduce the risk of bare soil losing nutrients but also encourage biological activity within your garden, helping your soil to receive the nutrients required to keep your plants healthy.
There are a number of steps that you can take to keep soil healthy and fertile. Organic methods of plant growth will help to keep the soil at its best. Soil can also be kept healthy if the area in which you are planting is not disrupted. Soil receives most of its nutrients from beneficial fungi and earthworms and if the soil remains undisturbed, then it is more likely to receive the nutrients required by plants in order to grow successfully.
Soil can also be kept fertile and healthy by adding extra fertiliser, such as peat moss or mulch. These help to retain moisture and will help to keep the soil in good condition. When adding peat or sand to soil, it is vital that they are mixed in thoroughly. It is important that you use natural fertilisers to keep your soil healthy.
Soil can also be kept at its best by using natural methods of pest removal rather than sprays that contain harmful chemicals. Many insect repellents contain chemicals that will damage your soil and plants, so it is vital that you consider using healthier methods to ensure that your soil and plants remain at their best. Sticky traps or blasts of water will help to keep pest at bay without disrupting the soil or your plants. You can also buy organic pest spray.
